A few videos of the race are finally posted and working.  Technical difficulties have alomost made me pull my hair out today.  Everything seems to be working now and I am trying to keep the camera rolling with some finish line footage first thing this morning along with some general shots of things happening on Saturday.  Look for more soon!
